The crazy thing is, despite playing crap it could happen, it's been that sort of season. I've no idea how we ended up top in November...

Worth a mention:

As a result of the ongoing troubles engulfing Bolton, the club announced earlier in this week that it could not pay this month?s wages as they wait for permission to buy an extra piece of land in order to push through the sale.


However, it has now emerged the side?s manager and his staff have dipped into their own pockets in a desperate attempt to come to the rescue of employees, thought to be around 300, who have been given empty pay packets.

Every cloud has a silver lining, that's one game closer to LVG's P45.

I watched the West ham game, I thought they were great, Payet is a little genius.

Looking forward to seeing Alli's goal on MOTD tonight Jah, supposed to be a world class finish. If you don't mind I'll save my man crush for the Euros only...

I think West Ham are genuinely a top 6 team this year - i'd only actually put Arsenal, City, begrudgingly Spuds and you have to say Leicster actually ahead of us, but it's not often that you can say you think you are genuinely a better team than Liverpool or United. Thought we were absolutely excellent today and we've still key players out, If Payet isn't in the french squad then they must have some players I don't know about! the bloke is moving into Di canio territory for me in terms of his genius AND he plays for the whole team too. Careful what we wish for eh :)

Interesting.

I remember Celtic losing 4-0 to St Mirren and hoping Mowbrey would be sacked. Same with John Barnes and supercaleyarefantasticcelticareatrocious


No spellchecker. But edited for spelling.

Five points this weekend.


1. Payet is what makes West Ham tick and top six certainties, without him they are mid-table mediocrities. Still, they are making good progress under Slavin Bilac. I take them to finish 5th. In the French squad Payet probably has Pogba ahead of him but I'm sure they can accommodate him as Pogba can play several positions.


2. How many people still calling Spurs a one-man team? We have quality all over the pitch. Very pleased with the progress we are making under Mauricio Pochettino.


3. Is it just me but does anyone else find Jurgen Klopp's antics on the touchline undignified and unbecoming of a manager. Especially when he celebrates Liverpool scoring a goal.


4. Jose Mourinho's begging letter to Man Utd is pathetic. How the mighty have fallen. If he wants to prove himself as a top manager he should join a club like Swansea, Norwich or Bournemouth where there isn't endless pots of money to dip into in the transfer market.


5. I keep thinking Leicester City will start to fall away from the top of the table but there they are still. I hate to say it but I think Arsenal will win the title and I think it will be Spurs and Leicester to run them close. Man City as much as you admire them going forward their defence is very shaky without Vincent Kompany.


End of season prediction

Top four


Arsenal

Spurs

Leicester

Man City


Relegated


Villa

Sunderland

Norwich.

How very English of you.


I have issues with the way Liverpool defend. I couldn't care less if the manager acts like an excited child when they score, I just want them to work on defending bloody set pieces.


Still, cracking match.




Spurs second? Hmmm.

Didn't he already do this winning the UEFA Cup and then Champions League with Porto. The EPL is not the only benchmark.

I certainly hope so if it means avoiding Europa. Basically if you're not in the top 4 then you may as well be in 17th, it makes absolutely no difference (look at Leicester).

And the supposed letter has been denied by his agent.

If you've taken the point what's the point of saying there not short of a few bob. It's the Portuguese league. They may be big there but their few bob is a mere pittance compared to several European leagues.

      Promo counter/ trade-show stand wanted for community art project.

      By Lillo · Posted

      A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Rockets · Posted

      No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.

      Electrician (Highly recommended) - James Seth

      By AlanMBarr · Posted

      I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
